Cancer
June 7, 2013
You told me not to be afraid,
That you would always be there,
You told me not to cry,
"Everything's gonna be alright"
You stood so tall,
Did you forget?
Death will take us all,
My throat will turn from smooth to stone,
I can't even talk anymore,
You inhaled, exhaled,
That smoke won't do you no good,
You didn't care, you didn't mind,
I do, when I don't have you.
